Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre is a music venue unlike any other—a sandstone stadium forged by the elements and blessed with natural acoustics. Many musicians have taken to this stage, and when shows are in town, Red Rocks can host over 9,500 concertgoers, all in for a treat beyond the music: stellar views of the natural Colorado landscape.

We had a great time with Gentry. The tour was smooth and on time. She is so sweet and offers to take pictures for us. This tour is everything, you get to explore downtown Denver and then move to Red Rock Amphitheater and the stunning view outside the city.
What a fun tour and beautiful scenery. Our guide Captain Kurt was very knowledgeable and pleasant. We learned a lot and our group of 4 had a great time. Definitely recommend!
It was a rewarding experience. I’ll remember forever.
The mountains the lakes were beautiful, but I would have to say our guide was The aspect of the trip that made it perfect his knowledge and entertaining stories made the day seem so short I could’ve gone for the whole day
The tour encompassed insights of the city, with spectacular views of Red Rock and the city from afar! I would highly recommend this 4hr tour for anyone visiting Denver area. Our tour guides, Stephanie and Christian were GREAT!
This was a well run excursion. Red Rock Ampitheatre was beautiful. The two hours in Breckinridge was great. Enough time for lunch and to explore a bit. Nice little town. And the drive to the continental divide was unbelievable with the aspens in full fall color.
The drive up to Echo Lake. So high in the mountains!! So happy to be with my two adult sons!
Enjoyable half day trip. Excellent driving by our guide Phil.
The Red Rock Amphitheater was also exciting!!
